Abstract

A method and apparatus for a read-modify-write operation in a digital computer memory system which reduces memory data path buffer storage requirements with a procedure which includes latching new write data and associated mask fields into a data output buffer and then merging read data with the new data in the output buffer according to the latched mask fields.
